Kanye, adidas unveil the Yeezy Boost

New York’s Fashion Week and the NBA’s All-Star game festivities collided in a sneaker event fit for Kanye West and his first Adidas collaboration.

Since leaving Nike for Adidas over a year ago, fans have waited patiently for the debut of the Yeezy shoe from Adidas. That wait has ended with suede, Boost technology and a giant strap that combined to form the Yeezy Boost.

During a fashion-esque unveiling in New York -- which featured Jay Z, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Drake, P. Diddy and Kardashians aplenty -- Kanye showed off the high-top grey suede shoes with white Boost cushioning soles along with a clothing line, the Yeezy Season 1.

The sneakers offer a side zip and laces, but both take a backseat to the oversized strap across the top of the sneaker. A few perforations in the front round out the design of the somewhat loose-fitting, boot-like sneaker.
